---------------------------------------------------------------------
Attribute Manager (previously Comment Manager) is now in beta version 0.71.62
What is new with this release
=============================
- Bug correction: the program entered an endless loop when
no %TMP% or %TEMP% directory was specified in the config.sys
file or if the path specified was invalid.
- Modified pop-up menu code. Now it will work properly
even if the mouse buttons have been swapped.
- Modified bubble help. Help window will be shown as
soon as mouse is moved over a button. Bubble help
may be disabled through the preferences notebook
- Modified file list box. Extended selection works
like in folders: when multiple files are selected,
clicking on an already selected file will deselect
all other files.
- The Undo function, in the Edit submenu, now works.
- The buttons in the Save dialog which appears when
the selection of a new file deselect previous selected
files (whose attributes have been modified) now work
as expected. The indexes of previously selected files
are stored in memory and so the previous selection
can be restored when canceling a new selection or
file drop.
- The window title is updated every time a new selection
or double click (according to the user preferences) is
performed.
- When in "nobrowse" mode the window maximize button is
removed since the window height can't be resized.
- Closing the application through the task list or by system
shutdown now is properly managed and a "Save/Discard/Cancel"
dialog is displayed if any attribute has been modified.
- Preferences dialog now uses 8.Helv if it detects OS/2 version
2.xx or 3.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attribute Manager is a PM application that allows to easily read and edit file
or directory ordinary attributes, extended attributes (.SUBJECT, .COMMENT and
.KEYPHRASE) and "last changed" date & time.
The application has a small toolbar, with bubble help, for accessing to the
most used functions.
A contextual menu will pop up by clicking with mouse button 2 in any other
portion of the window.
To view/edit a file/directory you can drag it on the program icon, start the
program and select one or more files through the browse windows. Once the
application is started you can select different file or directories by
dragging and dropping them on the application title bar. With few mouse clicks
you can select a bunch of files and set all their date/time stamps or
attributes at the same value, read or convert to .SUBJECT or .COMMENT EAs file
description from 4 DOS - 4 OS/2 description files, from file_id.diz files in
archives or from any other user defined file.
Various options can be set by a preferences notebook and will be stored in the
program INI file.
Report and file search capability will be added in future.
